A jagged, display-oriented serif with aggressively torn contours and needle-like spikes that break the letter edges throughout. Stems are heavy and irregular, with high-contrast interior cuts and rough, bitten counters that create a distressed silhouette rather than clean geometry. The set leans forward with an italic slant, and widths fluctuate noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a restless rhythm in words. Terminals often taper into sharp points and small protrusions, giving both capitals and lowercase a clawed, weathered finish.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as movie titles, Halloween or haunted-house promotions, album/merch graphics, and game or streaming cover art. It performs well where a rough, threatening texture is desirable and where size can be large enough to preserve the interior shapes and counters.
The overall tone is horror-leaning and unsettling, evoking decay, danger, and late-night pulp theatrics. Its scratchy, spiked texture reads as threatening and energetic, closer to a “creature feature” or haunted attraction voice than a refined historical style.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through exaggerated spikes, ragged erosion, and an overall forward-driving slant. By prioritizing silhouette and texture over uniform stroke logic, it aims to create an expressive, fear-tinged display voice that feels hand-mangled and deliberately unstable.
In text samples the texture becomes denser as letters connect visually through repeated edge spikes, which increases drama but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and punctuation match the same distressed, cut-out treatment, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines.
